My 12yo had a crash yesterday evening - he landed on his head at speed following a downhill jump when a branch got caught in his wheel. Cue ambulance, body board and the rest.
Thanks to @Richard A Thackeray who was on hospital duty at the time. We'll have to meet up properly Richard rather than me being a concerned parent when we spoke.

It was you, a familiar looking face, whom I noticed first, then checked the Patient listings, & saw the name
As you no doubt realise, I wasn't being stand offish, but didn't want to intrude too much

And before you ask "how's the bike", the X-Wing was returned to us this morning. Apart from a buckled rear wheel and bent mech hanger it's fine. He took the impact of the fall with his head and the bike simply bounced away.

I'm aware the helmet debate has both sides - but it's another vote of confidence for the Uvex helmets I buy for the family.
